Of course the kerning itself does not change, but the proportionality somehow does. I attached two pictures of the Microsoft font Constantia as an example. Do you have the same problem when editing fonts and how do you deal with it or am i just imagining things?

I like the one with more weight to it better then the too think version.

Are those screen shots from a Mobi eBook or a KF8 eBook? If Mobi, please post a KF8 screen shot using the version with more weight. The idea here is to modify fonts so they work in both KF8 & Mobi. KF8 can be a bit more difficult to modify for. It will take more restarts to the Kindle.
